No Bullsh*t Leadership
Leadership is not some special club, open only to elites. It's not a gold star given only to those with expensive degrees. Leadership is for everyone. Based on the author's hard-won experience as a Global CEO, this smart, fun book delivers a step-by-step working manual on how to lead - for anyone. Full of simple and direct approaches, it demystifies an over-analyzed subject to get to the heart of modern leadership: the life-changing, career-transforming power to get stuff done.
Extracts From: The Second Sex
Vintage classic feminist texts in short form When this book was first published in 1949 it was to outrage and scandal. Never before had the case for female liberty been so forcefully and successfully argued. De Beauvoir’s belief that ‘One is not born, but rather becomes, a woman’ switched on light bulbs in the heads of a generation of women and began a fight for greater equality and economic independence. These pages contain the key passages of the book that changed perceptions of women forever.

Enfers et paradis – Histoire d’une polémique – Lucio Guerrato
Le 19 décembre 1919, le grand arabisant espagnol don Asin Palacios, lors de son discours de réception à l’Académie royale, choque l’auditoire en affirmant que Dante Alighieri, l’auteur de La Divine Comédie, non seulement se serait inspiré du Mi’radj et de l’Isra, mais aurait transposé dans son poème, le plus grand de la chrétienté, images, épisodes et symboles tirés directement de textes arabes écrits cinq siècles auparavant. C’est un véritable brûlot qui vient d’être lancé. La polémique fait rage et pendant plusieurs années les partisans de l’une et l’autre thèses bataillent sans quartier. Au moment où le débat semble s’éteindre sans vainqueurs ni vaincus, coup de théâtre !, apparaît un nouveau document qui relance l’affaire.
Lucio Guerrato narre les développements de cette controverse qui dure depuis un siècle, transformant un débat entre érudits en une sorte d’enquête judiciaire à rebondissements. Cela lui donne aussi l’occasion d’évoquer des mythes millénaires de l’outre-tombe, le climat culturel de l’époque de Dante, les échanges entre le monde arabe et le monde chrétien. La réponse finale qu’il propose à la question clef de cette affaire, “qui a copié qui ?”, n’est pas sans surprise.

The Mayor of Casterbridge
Michael Henchard is an out-of-work hay-trusser who gets drunk at a local fair and impulsively sells his wife Susan and baby daughter. Eighteen years later Susan and her daughter seek him out, only to discover that he has become the most prominent man in Casterbridge. Henchard attempts to make amends for his youthful misdeeds but his unchanged impulsiveness clouds his relationships in love as well as his fortunes in business. Although Henchard is fated to be a modern-day tragic hero, unable to survive in the new commercial world, his story is also a journey towards love. This edition is the only critically established text of the novel, based on a comprehensive study of the manuscript and Hardy's extensive revisions.
Blood of Elves
For more than a hundred years humans, dwarves, gnomes and elves lived together in relative peace. But times have changed, the uneasy peace is over and now the races once again fight each other - and themselves: Dwarves are killing their kinsmen, and elves are murdering humans and elves, at least those elves who are friendly to humans... Into this tumultuous time is born a child for whom the witchers of the world have been waiting.
Ciri, the granddaughter of Queen Calanthe, the Lioness of Cintra, has strange powers and a stranger destiny, for prophecy names her the Flame, one with the power to change the world - for good, or for evil... Geralt, the witcher of Rivia, has taken Ciri to the relative safety of the Witchers' Settlement, but it soon becomes clear that Ciri isn't like the other witchers. As the political situation grows ever dimmer and the threat of war hangs almost palpably over the land, Geralt searches for someone to train Ciri's unique powers.
But someone else has an eye on the young girl, someone who understand exactly what the prophecy means - and exactly what Ciri's power can do. This time Geralt may have met his match.
